For years individuals and industries have been planting renewable forests in an attempt to regrow those natural resources that were used. The issue at hand is the time it takes to renew those resources. We are coming to a crossroad where population growth is out pacing the time it will take to naturally renew what was used.
New ways of planting such as the Miyawaki method combined with IOT technology and modern engineering equipment have made it possible to create and monitor forest growth anywhere in the world, real time. Utilizing these new methods a forest can be grown 10 times faster than a natural planting.
Besides all of the benefits that forests bring to the planet by cleaning our air. they also serve an important role in farming from agriculture to live stock. Forest tree lines reduce wind erosion of the soil. Retained moisture helps during times of drought.
Unchecked, the future of forestry and how it integrates into our everyday life will continue to affect us for years to come. Without utilizing leading edge technology in our environment we will continue to chip away at resources faster than they are renewed.
